A stunning piece of work that deals in the abstract, it is made up of a pile of wood blocks that look as though they are going to topple over at any moment. Overlapping in a seemingly impossible way, the furniture piece defies logic in more than a few ways. Comissioned by Glocal Design Magazine and Masisa brand for the opening of the Design Week Mexico 2012, specifically the exhibition ‘Hecho en México’ Boleanos is a stunning design.
